I feel so lucky to be in a program that I truly love. I have the privilege of waking up every day and learning about exactly what I am interested in.

My classmates feel like friends I have grown up with my whole life, not by any means, people I have known less then a year. My instructors are amazing and continue to inspire the best in their students. It is a beautiful thing when a teacher makes you feel like they really care about your success.

Bissonnette is which as an Oiler fan is no fun task, I think we can all agree not of the same calibre as Iginla and certainly not Gretzky but he on the threat Pittsburgh now poses to the league.

It will be intriguing to see how the rest of the season league, team and game. With Major League Baseball starting up LAUREN FINK pans out for both Calgary and Pittsburgh. this week, I think we can all think of a few. Sports Editor @laurenfink_ After spending the weekend in Calgary and watching doz- Flames icon Jarome Iginla ens of Flames fans walk the streets with their Jarome Iginla jer- seys on, I got to thinking ... How important are “face of franchise shows off his new Pittsburgh players?” And, how does the departure of one not only affect the Penguins jersey after Cal- team but the fans? gary traded him last week. Usually, if you’re the face of a franchise you’re a talented athlete and are an important part of the game your team plays. But trades are a part of the game, actually, of any game and the players who are left in the dust will adapt to a game without you because they have to. This is no different for the Flames. They’ll have to adapt and of course, they expect they can. “For the most part, we’re a pretty mature group and a veteran group,” said Michael Cammalleri in an interview with the Cal- gary Sun, on the impact of Iginla’s trade to the Pittsburgh Pen- guins. “For a lot of guys, this is not the first time seeing this type of thing. When you get to the point some of us are in our career, you realize you don’t worry about things you can’t control.” However, it will be no easy feat (especially since their more recent loss of Edmonton native Jay Bouwmeester to the St. Louis Blues.) Iginla was not only was the face of the Flames, but has been a crucial part of the team since he got his start there 16 seasons ago in 1996. But, this is a part of their “rebuild” game plan so to say. Much like what we’ve seen with the Oil- ers rebuild, or the loss of our own face of franchise players like Wayne Gretzky or arguably, Ryan Smyth. On the other side of the “Iginla trade spectrum” and every loss of the franchise players, are the fans. Flames fans will remain Flames fans, much like the players will adapt to the game without Iginla but, what happens when the team is in the slums, much like right now ( they sit 14th in the West, as of Monday, thescore.tumblr.com Canadian freshman turning heads By DEXTER WATTY sophomore guard Michael Carter-Williams and seems even less probable when you account for the fide players like junior guard Russ Smith, sen- @dwattysports junior forward C.J.
